Hah Hah Life

If you don’t smile, the world will stop smiling at you. It is a give and take. People are selfish. They would try to avoid anything that will make them feel uneasy, things that will not make their day. The world is cruel. The world is not that friendly. The world will only be friendly with the person who is friendly to the world.

Take things easy as it comes. Take things easy as it goes. Take things the way it is. Just take it. We cannot control what comes to us. But we can control how to take it. Many times we take it harder than it actually comes. Why? Because it concerns with the set of value, the set of hopes, the set of aspirations that we have. We protect our territory. We guard it with fear and aggression. We just hope that we would be right at all time while we are not really bothered whether it would wrong someone; yes, as long as it is proven to us that we are right, even by ourselves, alone.

I was born on July 21st 1964. It was the luck as I was told to have me born in the family. We did some rice trading, up from provincial towns to the city. The business was all right before I was born, sufficient enough to care well for a family to live comfortable life. After I was born, on the very day I was born, my dad for the first time got a contract to export rice to Europe. After that first contract, the business started to expand. Now our business covers, name it, A-Z, an airlines, beverage factories, properties, telecommunication, department stores, chained supermarkets etc. I cannot even count if some one asks me on the spot. I know all of them, of course, but it takes some certain amount of time to count and recount to make sure that I will not miss any. Never mind, I never bother to count them anyway.

I have seen
I have been
I have recorded deep in my eyes
Seek someone who can read inside
Seek someone who can see what I write
The book once closed will be unwritten
Just hope what I feel
Is recorded somewhere
Somewhere in someone’s eyes.

I see things and record it the way I feel. Laughter of others sometimes is my tears; cry sometimes my giggles. I don’t see the world the same way as the others see. In fact we don’t see the world the same way as the others do. There are 360 degrees in a circle. When we walk around the object we see different view of the object. Will there be any coincidence that the others and we can walk at exactly the same angle at the same time? Or can we walk into the same angle at the same time. When time changes, light shades differently.
